There she is guys.

To make sure I understand, you want intel on (the 'none' atomosphere is up to you guys), and a random small spiral (like in KOTH) with a fair placement of your empires. This right?

THANKS Slynky!
And yes, I undestand the same about Intel and "None" atmosphere.

Yep. Thx!

So, Simplify/Master Belisarius, did the map work out OK? (Just checking so I can be sure I did stuff right).

Yep, thanks! It was what we requested.

Here's the deal...

2 x 2 challenge

My first choice for a partner is Alneyan. I know he has school work and plenty of games. So, he may not be available to play (or even want to play on a team with me). BUT, for the sake of argument, let's assume he will play with me again.

Then here is the challenge:

We challenge any other team of two whose rating combination is within 20 points of our rating combination.

Settings:

1 GOOD starting homeworld;
FULL tech;
Medium-sized galaxy (around 100 systems);
No intel;
No events;
No warp openers or closers (gentleman's agreement);
Both members of a team take same atmosphere;
Map and starting points using one of Tesco's new maps and starting points set by Tesco (starting points to be beside each team member...2 here and 2 over there...hehe);
No Talisman (Religious);
ZERO racial points;
48 hour turn around time...set on automatic till such time as a player asks for an "intermission".

First choice goes to "Grand" Master B and a partner of his choice. If he refuses the challenge or can't get a partner, then the challenge is open as specified above...20 combined rating points.

If Alneyan is too busy, I will play with Lord Chane (who knows nothing of this!)...and therefore, points will be computed as based on our combined rating.

There "she" is!

Actually I am involved in eight games or so, so I guess I can sign up for another one once my first exams are done. (That is, Wednesday) However, I have virtually no experience with Full Tech, so you might want to watch out. (I am fine with having no previous experience, after all it was what I did in my first KOTH game. *Quivers at the recollection*)

Hey... thanks for the offer, but would prefer to don't play this time.
I'm not affraid about the game settings (or lose!), after all, always like to re-think my strategies.
Actually, I don't know how many trips will need to take in the coming months, then, will continue/finish my current games without start new ones (well, except KOTH games) during some time.

Anyway, if you can't find more opponents, I could take the glove.

Thanks, Master B. You're a good player and I thought I'd give you first opportunity at another game.

Simply surrendered at the turn 61.
Maybe the Ice Colony was his problem and slowed his expansion. But I'm sure that my better Aggressiveness/Defensiveness + Propulsion Experts gave me an advantage and I used it.
